Dollar General — Local services in Jacksboro

I had an extremely degrading and embarrassing experience at this location from a cashier and her comments to me. Due to my EMPLOYMENT sometimes I can shop at this location and the Caryville, TN location anywhere from 1-4 times daily depending on the amount of orders I receive, and I have been doing so for around a year and a half. During my last two trips I have went to leave the location and the security sensor has went off(this has NEVER happened before). On both occasions I have stopped and spoke to the cashier to ensure their were no issues and I made a joke or comment stating maybe it’s my phone and chuckled( I know this is not how the security sensors work). Then I proceeded out to my car. I realized I forgot to get something and ran back in very quickly for her to say “huh that’s funny the sensor didn’t go off this time and you had your phone in your hand but not your bag”. “Wonder why that is”? All I could do is think about her comment and wonder why someone would ever have been led to believe or assume I would steal something, and I was beyond embarrassed. Once I arrived in my car I began looking and low and behold the little ole Disney Encanto toy I bought my daughter has a security tag… My previous purchase was automobile transmission fluid, suckers, paper plates. Background I used the self checkout on both purchases so there is footage of both purchases along with 90% of my other trips(when you DoorDash it’s much more convenient), I also never have a purse or bag with me. And today I had on a tank top and shorts. So I’m not sure what I would be stealing and where I would put it but cameras can easily show I did not. No one should EVER feel that way or be accused as I was today. Before this I loved this location issues and all, but after this I will not return EXCEPT for to return tomorrow with my $5 toy box and show exactly what caused that sensor to go off and the receipt...

This was by far my worst experience at a Dollar General. When I entered the store it was 48° outside but they have the front door propped open. When I walked a little further back I could smell cigarette smoke inside the store and then I had to walk through a maze of boxes and crates to try to get to the item I wanted. I had to move boxes stacked waist-high to get to what I wanted. After I grabbed my item I went to the front to check out . During that 8 minutes I stood there with no one else in line I had to listen to the cashier talk to another woman about blowing out curly hair and head lice . She finally decided to finish her conversation and come ring me up . The store was an absolute mess and completely disorganized period there is no reason why I had to wait 8 minutes to check out and yes, I was clearly in her line of sight but her conversation what's more important than this paying customer period I will never again go to this...

all these Dollar Store's that's been built out in the country is actually one of the best thing's that's ever happened, they have so much more product's than the country store's that did fill our communities but that's the very sad part about it & even though we're fortunate to still have some Mom & Pop old store's around the Dollar Store's has saved me many more miles to town, their prices vary greatly & it's not a good thing but I figure what I save on gas all & all I come...
